The final season of the popular web series 'The Boys' has launched on Prime Video in India, but viewers have quickly noted that the local version has undergone significant edits. Despite being rated for adults, many scenes have been altered, including muted dialogues and blurred visuals. For instance, in Episode 1, specific words spoken by Sister Sage are muted, while Episode 2 features trimmed visuals during a disturbing virus-testing sequence.
